Developer zackoverflow says we're experiencing the AI-model equivalent of "tech debt": he wrote a bunch of code when the Fable model came out and overused made-up terminology like "golden bundle" or "smoke tests".
Because those terms are now everywhere in his code and docs, Fable keeps using them—and he has to live with it forever.
